Interesting video. The water doesn't even seem to reach the ground still in liquid form.

Wow, that's pretty sweet. Too bad there won't be time for the water to condense if it's only 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit.

I've been wondering whether it's possible to launch snow using a water cannon, or using a water balloon launcher and a sabot. Obviously, launching a snowball would be dangerous...

Nice find as usual. :)

Weird video.

You haven't seen a WBL launch a snowball? You really should! As long as it is packed well, you can get it to fly further than a water balloon. I once thought it might be funny if I showed up to a snowball fight with a Douchenator painted white...

Well, I've thought about how neat it would be to create a metal water balloon launcher and use in a snowball fighting. Until I picture a snowball ripping somebody's head off.

PVC can also explode easily in the cold. But metal wouldn't...

And even worse, I can't even see us getting any snow this year. Today and yesterday have been highs of mid-70s.

I'd try launching snow in an instant from one of my metal air cannons - except for the fact that it hasn't snowed here since I've built them.

Damn, water got pwnd. I'd like to see it with a dye so it's easier to see.
Whatever music you listen to probably sucks.
